PHOENIX - A sixth victim is now working with detectives who are investigating the allegations of sexual assault and hazing happening inside the football locker room at Hamilton High School. According to a department spokesperson, the victim came to police two weeks ago.

The Chandler Police Department first announced their investigation into the allegations at the end of March, when three victims were identified by police, and since that time, three more victims have come forward.

Notices of claim have been filed with the Chandler Unified School District on behalf of five of the victims, asking for 34 million dollars in total damages.

The claims allege school officials were aware of the assaults and were negligent in reporting them to police.
